| Because Mel was particularly anxious to have his copies look as good as possible on the shelf, he sometimes touched up areas of wear, usually on black backgrounds. We talked about the effect of this on the future value of those books, and in the last few years of his life, he stopped doing this. But some of the descriptions in this catalogue will note that the covers of paperbacks or the dust jackets of hardbound copies have light wear that has been touched up. Mel was careful, and most of the time it's not very visible, but prices have been adjusted to account for this problem. |
